Braves manager has managed to spoil what appeared to be a promising major leaguer. But by giving into his whining about getting hit by a pitch is now created a spoiled brat prima donna who is probably poisoning the dugout. Try not crowding the plate if you don’t want to get hit!

Ronald Acuna has joined the all-time douchebag list with LeBron James and Aaron Rodgers

Hopefully they hit him again tomorrow and every game after that

I agree with you on this.

Genuinely curious how Donnie would handle Acuna's stupidities if he was his manager.

Put him in as catcher

He’d make him the closer, obviously.

He'd say there were going to be consequences and then do absolutely nothing.

Wait for him to go 6-10 through the first two games of the series, then let him rest game 3.

 

Two things that unify marlins fans -  Fire Don and acuna is a little bitch

He needs to get over it.  I get being upset at an Urena pitch that comes near your head.  But thinking every single pitch that hits you after that is some intentional thing is ridiculous and needs to be addressed by his coaches.

 

MLB is only encouraging it by pushing out notifications "watch Acuna tempers flare after HBP" because it gets clicks.

 

They're in the same division and play each other what 20 times a season?  Obviously he could get hit more by us vs other teams.  Freeman has been hit 71 times in his career.  I'm sure over 7 of those are from the Marlins (I can't find team sortable HBP).

He's doing it on purpose at this point to rattle the Marlins.

And it seems to be working, he scores every time he pulls off one of his clown shows.

He has been hit by the Marlins, Phillies, and Nationals 9 times. No team has hit him more. Mets have only hit Freeman 3 times.

I read the other day that the Red Sox have hit him a lot more "often" based on the relatively low number of games vs him. How come he doesn't create a show against them?

Edit: As of last Friday the Marlins had hit Acuna 4 times in 236 plate appearances, Red Sox hit him 3 times in just 59 plate appearances... how is this not a thing?

Cause you can attack the marlins, but not the Red Sox. They’re too much of a cornerstone franchise for the baseball media to make a villain out of. The other factor is the original instigator was Ureña and let’s face it, super unlikable dude lol. I honestly have zero memory of him ever smiling.

I know, I'm with you, I'm just saying that Red Sox number is what people should point to to shut him up.

Yup I agree, I just think they don’t want to shut him up really. For whatever reason, he’s become a darling of the MLB 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

LOL

Expect a statement on this from Manfred and the union shortly.

I love that someone with the clout of Pedro Martinez says exactly what I've been telling Braves fans.
